USB-over-IP products are network-attached USB hubs that connect USB peripheral devices to a PC/server over a Local Area Network (LAN). This makes it possible for many USB-based devices (including the Aegis license hardware dongle) to coexist with a virtualized data center:
Excellent in virtualized FactoryLogix environments such as VMware®
Ability to maintain/re-establish connection in the event of a virtual server failover situation
Breaks the traditional five-meter distance limitation between USB license key and server
Digi makes the popular AnywhereUSB® device: www.digi.com/products/usb/anywhereusb.
